I rarely get in the mood for pasta, but when I do I want it
all: the noodles, the sauce, and the meat.
But, I’m working on a healthier diet that cuts a lot of carbohydrates
from grains and focuses more on vegetables.
It can be a sad day when you’re craving pasta; however, you can’t have
it. L
Now, that is not a problem.
I decided to venture out and try some new substitutions to work with
this diet and make it stick. I’m on a
roll! I decided to make low-carbspaghetti squash. It was simple to make
just took some time to cook the squash.
Here are some helpful tips for when you attempt this recipe:
1.
I used a squirt bottle for the olive oil that
way I wouldn’t use as much.
2.
Make sure to take out the seeds and the gunk
that they are attached to. Clean the
seeds like you would a pumpkin.
3.
Give the squash time to cook thoroughly. Don’t rush it because giving it time will
give you more squash! YUM!
4.
Just for the squash to get your makeshift
spaghetti. It’s that simple!
5.
I cooked my turkey but you could use any kind of
meat.
6.
I used regular spaghetti sauce rather than doing
the sauce recipe provided. That way you
aren’t wasting ingredients and I was more focused on getting the squash done
right.
There are enormous amounts of idea that you can get from
using spaghetti squash. Now, you can
substitute that heavy pasta for some lighter, healthier squash. I know that squash sounds iffy because I was
on the fence. On the other hand, I’ve been
transformed into a squash lover and won’t be turning back. J
